Prokofiev was such a genius..

  My copy of the Takacs set arrived yesterday.  Although not SACD, it does include a 24/48 Blu-Ray with the entire cycle.  

I've seen that set advertised. I might go for the hi-res downloads to save space. as I already have several other complete sets on CD/SACD.

still my favorite..

Paul Galbraith's new recording of transcriptions of Mozart and Bach wonderfully played on his 8-string guitar. Superb sound.

Really? I have it too. You should also try the Italiano, Prazak, Berg, and Tokyo (1990s).

I'm gonna listen to Quatuor Ebene playing Beethoven string quartets in about 3hrs, live that is.

Good diversity. Few things can match the soothing sounds of a slow guitar after a tiring work week.....

really

I have the ones you mentioned and others, except for Prazak.I like most Beethoven SQ I have for different reasons. The list of the ones I don't care for is pretty short, Emerson & Artemis come to mind
 
I'll give Prazak a go, thanks for reminder

I was being generic. A slow guitar piece is very relaxing.

 

[gerelmx1986]

 
Some pieces i grabbed from the Brilliant Mozart edition
